The WebLogic Server/Portal 10 agent uses an agent profile and associated password to communicate with OpenSSO Enterprise server. You can create an agent profile using any of these three methods:
Create the agent profile automatically during installation when you run the agentadmin program with the --custom-install option.
Note: To create the agent profile automatically during installation, the agentadmin program prompts you for an administrator with agent administrative privileges in OpenSSO Enterprise (and the path to the associated password file). Therefore, this user must exist in OpenSSO Enterprise before you run the agentadmin program. If you prefer, you can specify amadmin as this user.
Use the OpenSSO Enterprise Administration Console, as described in To Create an Agent Profile in the OpenSSO Enterprise Console.
Use the ssoadm command-line utility with the create-agent subcommand. For more information about the ssoadm command, see the Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Administration Reference.
Login to the Console as amAdmin.
Click Access Control, realm-name, Agents, and J2EE.
Under Agent, click New.
In the Name field, enter the name for the new agent profile. For example: WLS10Agent
Enter and confirm the Password.
Important: This password must be the same password that you enter in the agent profile password file that you specify when you run the agentadmin program to install the agent.
For Configuration, check the location of the agent configuration properties:
Local: Properties are stored in the OpenSSOAgentConfiguration.properties file on the server where the agent is deployed.
Centralized: Properties are stored in the OpenSSO Enterprise centralized data repository. (This option applies to OpenSSO Enterprise only and not to Access Manager 7.1 or Access Manager 7 2005Q4.)
In the Server URL field, enter the OpenSSO Enterprise server URL.
For example: http://openssohost.example.com:58080/opensso
In the Agent URL field, enter the URL for the agent application (agentapp).
For example: http://agenthost.example.com:8090/agentapp
Click Create.
The console creates the agent profile and displays the J2EE Agent page again with a link to the new agent profile.
To do additional configuration for the agent, click this link to display the Edit agent page. For information about the agent configuration fields, see the Console online Help.
